    I'd suspect theres a problem (DTC) with the oil sensor in the sump, rather than the level.

    Check the oil level anyway as a matter of course.

    Been thru any big puddles??

    As above it's the sensor on the sump but maybe just electrical - ie corroded wires or maybe stretched if the pendulum mount is worn or snapped a bolt.

    oil level is fine,on my new engine theres no wiring going to my sump but on my old one there is a sensor,do you think its just the dash clocks thinking im still running the old system?? basically do you think it will be ok as i want to get back on the road with it asap
